It marked the third time in her career she has earned the conference weekly honor after winning it twice as a sophomore in 2023. Primerano scored two goals and added an assist for a five-point weekend, as she also extended her goal streak to three consecutive games and had the game-winning goal in Sunday's win over the Beavers.

Her five-point weekend helped her become the 22nd player in program history to reach 25 career points, as she now ranks 19th all-time with 28 career points (8g/12a).
Trapino netted her third goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with No. 13 Minnesota State on Oct. 6.
